Analise D Mello MBBS, MS obgyn, DNB

Thank you for all the love, prayers and loads of good wishes. I thank Mark for being kind enough to cover for me for the days I was not available.

When I read today’s Gospel , it hit me hard. The simple prayer that was taught by Jesus , something that I clung to the last month. I have never seen my faith wobble and rise so strong norhave been surrounded by so much prayer and love.

I was undergoing a surgery for a very early form of cancer and have now recovered the same.

Hard pill to swallow but it taught me resilience and made me have faith in my self and the Lord. I prayed before and after and try everyday to surrender my life to His will and focus on the present.

I praise Him in my work and try to adhere to the commandments. I am requesting g for my daily meals and earning as I try to love everyone around me and forgive everyone around me. A very very hard thing to do.

Life after a major news makes me live every moment and enjoy everything I ever do at work or otherwise. It did take a village to help me get back to normal. I praise God for everyone..

T9day when we say the Lords prayer let us mean every word of jt and realise how flimsy our lives are and how much we need to thank god for it.

Amen
